- PCV Valve symptoms are generally not "leaking coolant". In this video I will show you how a 3.0t Audi S4 failed PCV valve caused coolant to mix in the engine oil. I will also show you step by step PCV replacements for all 3.0 supercharged Audi engines. PCV failure is a common VW and Audi issue Thanks to @WD-40Brand for partnering with us on this video

Got part numbers for all the gaskets needed to replace?
@HumbleMechanic the hardest part of the job was 15:20mins in. That t30 sucked. I ended up taking those connectors loose and bending the bracket back while still using a low profile socket. And then that coolant pipe was stuck in the thermostat housing 🤦🏽♂️ just those 2 parts hung me up for over and hour. Lol
came here to see the part nr list
Do u have a wiring and vacuum diagram for the things in the back im worried i hooked something up wrong. I am getting an odd loss of power intermittently when i floor it, the engine will completely stop almost to the point it jerks me forward like i slammed on brakes then it will go back to full power. Very uncomfortable, cant figure out what i did wrong, it started when i replaced my coolant crossover pipe. Today i took it all back apart, replaced my fuel injectors, my pcv, spark plugs, and cleaned everything, but now im questioning if i am making a mistake on the vacuum lines on the back of the throttle body.
Any advice ❤
Great video !! What a pain in the ass job to do...
I broke that secondary air line next to the water pipe…. I recommend being extremely cautious when moving the brittle plastic not flexy air pipe. Not cheap and you run risking breaking the new air pipe when installing it… Charles, your videos are priceless and have bailed me out more than a couple of times sir. Guys please support his Patreon, we need this guy around for years to come 👍
I've had a buddy help me change my beetle engine and he hooked a vacume line up to a coolant line. Had a bunch of coolant mixed with my oil... did a flush multiple times, 10 years later I still find remnants of coolant on the oil cap. Engine is still going strong. Had 36k on it when it happened, has over 300k now.
If you only drive short runs, water condenses inside the valve cover and causes a little bit of milkshake on the oil cap. If you drive even like ten miles on the highway so that the car runs at full operating temperature under load, the condensate evaporates away through the PCV system. This might be an alternative explanation
@@S1l3nthunt Saw this a lot on the 2.0 non turbos. Short trip driving would build a bunch of moisture on the oil cap. a white goop
@@HumbleMechanic I'm thinking about looking for a Mk IV with the 2.0 NA 8V engine, I believe they have 115 horses. I read that many of them had oil consumption issues, but are they really bad engines in general? My dad used to have one of those in a '96 Passat and that was a pleasure to drive.
@@schmuhf Mine’s been reliable and doesn’t have any oil consumption issues. Little slow but kind of fun.
@@schmuhf reliable, but yes they burn oil and can start to ping.
"Some level of sad we don't want", "It gets sad really fast" are expressions I will use with my daughter. Thanks Charles.
HAHAH NICE! I use them with mine.. they invoke a nice eye roll most of the time.
This was a fully packed non-stop video! So many chances for all these old plastic parts to break apart just by looking at them. You persevered and came out whole at the end. Very skillful, I'm jealous. Great as always.
This exact same thing happened to me on my 140k miles 2012 s4 , and at the same time a transmission line cracked inside the radiator and had to flush that out, and a week prior to those issues, I had to replace all upper and lower control arms, it was a hell of a time, other than that there’s little hiccups from stop to go, according to paper work I believe it does need new engine and transmission mounts, I’m pretty sure it’s the original ones and I’m sure it’s bout out around this time, so with new mounts I do plan on putting some inserts in and see if that definitely helps, just upgrading whatever breaks along the way lol
Doing a PCV change on a 3.0t is a right of passage when you own one of these things. The only thing I would say is that it isn't necessary to remove the hoses from the valve covers considering how much of a nightmare they are & how easily they break. You can easily maneuver the pcv out of the engine with them still attached.
I'm just waiting on some custom parts from MercRacing to complete our 3.0t PCV relocation project so I never have to worry about changing anything related to it under the supercharger ever again.
Also, it's a good idea to replace that breather hose/check valve that comes off the top of the pcv & connects to the supercharger. If it fails it will trigger the same CEL as if your pcv was bad again.
Charles said he never shared his phone number. These acumen bags will ask you for money dont text back
YES CZcams is REALLY BAD about spam right now.
Do you have any advices and or tips/ blog posts for R36 ? The dealer in my area is TERRIBLE.
You should be replacing the breather hose along with the PCV valve. Those get brittle with time, and crack on their own. Then you have a CCV failure all over again, and the supercharger has to be removed again to replace the breather hose assembly. Just do both together so you're in there only once.
I'm coming from a BMW S54 which also had a few 'right of passage' (VANOS hub) jobs but this PCV looks a bit rough even compared to that engine. Other than the PCV what other big ticket items does the 3.0t require attention for?
Maaaaaan!!!! Please, please do NOT cut your mistakes out. That is valuable, it shows us WHAT NOT to do. Anything you show has value! You are different, that's good stuff!
Love that you showed the wiring harness mistake, I was cracking up as I made the same exact mistake last time I replace a customers PCV valve.
There are two TSB’s from Audi, one only shows replacing the diaphragm, I like you showed replacing the whole valve since more and more of these are having the coolant mix with oil. The other TSB talks about fuel additives degrading the 90 degree vacuum line fitting at the PCV. Next time you do this job I’d recommended replacing the elbow to prevent future failure.
Love your videos man. Somewhat new tech, been a vw tech at Wallace Volkswagen of Johnson City TN for about 8 months now and I’ve been able to learn a lot to help me in my career from your videos and I appreciate what you do honestly. Working on Volkswagens is pretty nerve racking to say the least but with your videos and thorough explanations you make it a lot easier for us techs starting out. I’m 21, youngest vw tech at our dealer and I got shoes to fill and I feel like you’ve helped me fill them/get on the path to fill them and I’m thankful for all the jobs and experiences I’ve had myself and watching your experiences through your videos. When i get home from work I always put on the vw/Audi playlist and watch that till I fall asleep 🤣💀 I live and breathe what I do because of you man. Thank you.
As always a fantastic video 👌 Humble mechanic showing why he's the best by the attention to detail in each and every video
Finally a video showing whats holding the rear of the return pipe. Ive looked everywhere. Thank u
Just saw a first last week, Power Steering Fluid Mixing with Coolant. Both the power steering reservoir and the radiator had the same milky content. It was on a Hyundai, the cause was a power steering line connected to the radiator (for cooling purposes I can only assume) somehow both cracked and bled into each other. Stealership tried to scare (and flat out rob) this old lady into saying her car needed $5k in repairs, and that she should just trade it in for a new vehicle (trade in value less than $1500) she took it to a local mechanic and they only chared $600 to replace radiator and flush both systems.
Charles thank you so much for your videos showing people how to be a home mechanic or at least understand what is going on with their cars!
I like these random repairs. I own a mk7 GTI and this video is almost not relevant to me, i still find these entertaining and informative. Keep up the high quality vids my man
I wanted to let you know I had purchased a PCV valve for a 2010 Audi A6 Supercharged. I thought this would be fairly easy change out until I watched this video. I am a financial advisor by trade but I am fairly mechanically inclined (I can easily do brakes and rotors but have never ventured any further than that with repairs)
Thanks to your detailed video I swapped out the PCV and it’s running like a top!!! Saved me tons of money and increased my confidence 10 fold
The car and I have a different relationship than we had before this job!
Thank you so much. Incredible video from you!!!!!
Regards, Chris
This video is the best video for a pcv valve replacement! Thank you for the great content! This was a lot more helpful than other and very detailed! Did mine and now is running perfectly! Thank you sir!
Protip: you can put a long extension or screwdriver through the hooks on each bank of the super charger to make it significantly easier to lift. Also be super careful to not accidentally let the one of the studs that the supercharger sits on go into one of the ports and puncture one of the intercoolers like I have unfortunately done, lol
Lol did just the same a few days ago, fortunately it was not punctured, only crushed, so after successful leak test I put some liquid aluminum to strengthen it up and called it a day 😁
Oh gosh! What is it made of to get crushed/punctured?
It's funny... I don't own or Will never own this car as its not so thing I'd be drawn too... But because its you showing how its done I stay engaged the whole way through... A good sign or a great teacher.... Aside the fact I love all your mk4 golf related content as that's where my love of Vws are at.
Always great detail in your videos. Thank you Charles!
AHHHH!!! This gave me flashbacks from last year when I had to replace the intercooler bricks in the supercharger on my S5. I went ahead and did PCV, water pump, belts, pulleys, and tensioners, as well as a nice carbon cleaning on the valves. I must add that if you're pulling the SC off, you might as well replace the intercooler bricks and change the SC oil. Nice work HM! It's boost season!
What's the best way to clean that carbon off of the valves?
@@karlw2090 I used brake cleaner and a pick. Takes a long time. Patience.
Honestly you make the best videos for working on cars I have seen... And that is quite a few too many. Most are stupid beyond measure who wants to see how to video that starts with a shot of the new part cut straight to already put on with nothing showed the they say that's how you do it.. wtf. Your dialogue start to finish with professional insight should be the benchmark for the way these videos should go. So thank you well done. I feel like I actually learned stuff every video I have watched.
Nice walk through. What I like to do, besides pics, is keeping a set of color markers, so I draw a line, and sometimes a symbol on the parts. Like the long bolt on the manifold, mark pink the bolt head and around the manifold hole. Not only prevent mistakes, but speeds up. I also write a number on parts(hoses, connectors, etc.) then follow the numbers in reverse when assembling. OCD much?!😅
Hey Charles, your videos has always been a light unto my path as a Volkswagen family cars mechanic in Nigeria
We love you ❤️.
I just wished I get better opportunities.
Great video. Love how deep you dive into the extra stuff that's a pain in the butt. To be honest though, I think you should've shown how you removed and replaced the secondary fire wall. That is something nobody has covered on these cars and I believe it could be a very critical and helpful tool for PCV, 02 sensors, Rear timing covers, Catalytic converters, Oil Filter Housing, etc... Thanks again for the insightful video, and if you have video of the fire wall please post it.
A 2 or 3K job? I always tell people that if you want a German car, make sure it is VW/Audi four cylinder. Unless you don't mind the cubic dollars to fix your car. Double the price for BMW. The thing I respect you for is your patience. Slow and steady on these older cars, not by the hour for warranty repair. I have been a sub since around 100K and still love your enthusiasm and smack toward German Rube Goldberg machines (look it up). Your sense of humor is invaluable. Continued success.
Solid German engineering created this very complex mix of components to deal with. Pictures and videos and I would still mess this up! Thanks Doc Charles for posting these interesting and informative videos.
👆👆Great fan❤️, thanks for watching You have been selected among my shortlist winner's,Dm on WhatsApp above to acknowledge your prize 🎁🎁
Thank you for this video I have a b8.5 and I do minor engine work myself and this is gonna be the first time I’m pretty much pulling the supercharger out to do my pcv thank you for that , earned another subscriber!
I followed ur video step by step bc it’s my first time ever working on an Audi. The video and explanations were PERFECT!!! I went to school for automotive but I’ve never worked on and Audi and it was a great experience. Just got my wife’s Q7 back up and running today just from watching this video, taking pics and taking my time. I’d love to see you do videos of u working on an 03 Tacoma. If there’s a way to ever contact u if I have questions please let me know. Thanks again for ur time to make this video!!
I know finally who you are.. You, dear sir , are the little voice in my head, when I do my repairs. :)
Yaaay back to Sunday noon(ish) uploads! Loved the heroic music for the supercharger removal. What a crappy place to stick a PCV. I'll never complain about replacing the PCV on an MKV BPY again. OK maybe not never 🤣
You encouraged me
I'm going to start this job next week on my A6 and after that on my Q5
thank you
I've done the timing belt on my MK4 GTI 1.8T three times. I will not be doing this PCV valve myself on my Q5 3.0T! LOL! Great video, showing what I will not be doing.
Now I am cured from ever buying a VW or Audi V6 engine. Great video mate.
A few years back, I did fuel injectors and intake manifold gaskets on my 93 Ford Explorer. Used paper towels to plug intake holes, and forgot to remove them. Got sucked into cylinders. Took myle hours with boroscope to remove it all. Truck runs good!
Yikes
im doing this job right now on a customers 13 SQ5. not a terrible job but finding the specs to tighten the hardware was hard to find. your video helllped alot!
Awesome
It never fails! Every time I think I want a cool Audi/VW I just watch one of your videos and remember how truly awful these are to work on. Thanks for saving me so many headaches and so much money!🙏🏼
HAHA they aren't too bad, as long as you know what youre in for
@@HumbleMechanic true enough, especially with all your detailed helpful videos! Keep up the great work and videos 👍🏼
Everyone in the groups complaints about the one bolt holding the coolant pipe by the knock sensor harness, but I learned from you long ago and bought VIM Half Cut bit set and It was a breeeze for me. 🎉
Please explain these bits?
@@mk_ultrarunner VIM tools VHC77 77piece half cut stubby bit set. Works great for tight spaces like the coolant pipe bolt on the 3.0t and valve cover bolts that are closest to shock towers.
@@360construction9thx. I looked them up. “A bit pricey.” 😂 But definitely looks helpful. Thx.
Awesome video! Bookmarking this in my SQ5 diy folder.
Great vid thank you! Especially the warnings about fragile plastic!
hey bro, just wanted to say Thanx for coming to our Chattanooga Motorcar Festival!
SO GLAD YOU ARE THE FIRST GUY I HAVE SEEN PUT SOME DIETETIC GREASE ON THE O RINGS TO HELP THEM GO ON EASILY WITHOUT TEARING.
It’s a must. Lol
Great video. Wish it was up 3yrs ago when it took me 6 tries to get everything in right. Big pain in the but!
I used to make those PVC valves. They are made from a material (I think) called zytel. It's a fiberglass reinforced nylon. It's a pretty kickass plastic, but that engine is about 100k past it heat cycle life.
If that one was the ORIGINAL one, id say we did pretty good. This is a pretty common issue on these 3.0t engines. I just wish there was a better way to test them.
@@HumbleMechanic VAG Audi engineers are donkeys. Too much plastic with heat in all of their engines since 90's
Aluminum is also a pretty kickass metal. Just saying
@@colchronic this!!!!!!!!!
@@HumbleMechanic A better way? I remember pulling my pcv valves on gm products by pulling them by hand from the valve cover and giving them a shake . If they rattled they were ok. If not, you could clean them with solvent and try again. A 3 dollar item in the 70s and 80s. German technology is increasingly retarded.
Kudos to the most patient mechanic on youtube. Working on german garbage is a task and for you to keep your cool and patiently pull off plastic hoses which were once rubber without breaking them is a monumental task!!
pointless. Trans will let go in 6k. Just park it. Permanently.
Thats 6k of fun to be had. And I have a manual swap ready to go. not worried about it one bit.
Even though I bought a subaru last yr. Charles I still love your content! So much to learn from you! Keep them coming. I gave my Tiguan 2011 to my niece and she is still going strong over 160k! Doing front suspension this week for her!
Thanks again for saving us a ton of $
Lol I had a 2000 vw just uploaded last year as well, also got a sub. 2020 the year before push button start and button shifter.....
Still have more problems with it than I had with my VW
@@vick10036 THAT WAS A SCAM!!! DO NOT MESSAGE THAT NUMBER
Thank you for the kind words. Glad I can bring some value.
@@HumbleMechanic copy that. Thanks for letting me know
Anyway, you have to spend a bunch of money to keep it running
Only Charles could leave me in suspense of for a Liqui Moly engine flush video - been curious to try it on on my own cars!
Working on the edits now!!
i ended up dropping that T30 screw on reinstall, took me hours to find it with a mirror, it actually ended up wedged between the power steering rack. was happy when i found it. put some towels underneath when removing or reinstalling in case you drop it
Awesome job. You made a tedious task fun.
Great job Charles, that was not a simple job, the abyss of sadness😂👌👍🙂
Another great one. I love your videos.....keep them comming
Took me 2 days, this video helped tremendous Thank You!!!
It is a perfect VW fix channel!
Hello Charles, Did you check your email? we are looking for work with you.
0:42 The coolant warms the PCV so that moisture in the gases does not freeze in the winter and damage the engine.
On other engines, when moisture freezes in the PCV, it stops the pressure increase and oil starts to run from all the connections and seals.
This will happen due to short trips in the winter.
Thanks so much! I did the same thing with my sensor wire. This helped me figure out what I did wrong.
Excellent video big dawg‼️
You are a rockstar. This is a great video!
Lifting and reinstall of supercharger is easier if you loop some shop towels on the hooks. Just found that way works for me
I was replacing the valve cover gaskets and broke the breather hose... So here we are!
Pro Tip: cut off a piece of baling wire (the stiff wire that holds its form) and wrap it 90-99% around the plastic hose port on the Valve Cover. Don't overlap it, a small gap is what you want. Use a pic or flat-blade screwdriver and push it up and under the 4 retainer sections of the breather hose clip and it will pop right out. The idea is that you are releasing all 4 of the clip sections at the same time instead of fooling around trying to pry each one out at a time with a pic and having them snap back into place. Don't pull the hose too hard or you will be watching the "How To Remove SC and Replace PCV Valve" videos like I am... The hose ain't cheap either.
great video man!
Can't test something I'll never own though I do most work on my sister's TT which I called dibs on the day she bought it. If anyone knows if there's a steely option for snow tires that'd be great if you could let me know. BTW thanks for your time teaching us as it's saved my sister thousands.
Edit: That's true dedication to us classmates when he stops working to heart comments so fast I missed it.
just fixed on this exact problem on a 13 A6. PCV coolant passage was leaking so bad when you pressurized the cooling system it would barf right down into the pan from a passage near the crank snout. My money was on cracked engine block but it was for sure the PCV
Don't forget to hold the lower intake manifold flaps open with a hand vacuum pump when reinstalling the lower intakes 🙂
dude thank you very much for this video lol this thing kicked my ass but got it done
The dramatic victory theme whilst pulling the supercharger was a nice touch. 🤣😂
😂😂😂
that is sooo much more work compared to my two piece manifold passat. i think for mine i literally just take off top manifold and then valve cover and its right inside the inside top of the valve cover
Great information on this video.
Informative video and definitely abit of a hectic engine to work on 😅😅
I'm doing exactly what you're done. the funny thing is I made the same mistake as you did. I wish i watched your video before I did my repair
favorite car of the channel
Thanks Charles ! Oh Boy ! As if working on a GTI isn't complicated enough ! I can't wait to get an Audi S ! 😂
Great video. Thank you very much
Awesome video, not to help me do the work, but to recognize I don't want to do the work, lol. Appreciate you.
Hey that’s just as valuable in my opinion.
On Volvo we have the "glove test".
We place a glove over the open oil cap if the glove inflates the pcv system is clogged or leaking. You want to always have vacuum drawing from the crankcase.
Audi friend here. Put vice grips on the compressor lift loops for easier extraction :)
THAT is a great idea!
Notification squad, Have a nice weekend!🔥🔥🔥
WOO!
We've had this issue on our Audi A6, well PCV valve failure codes. Fortunately no oil and coolant mixing issues.
You are a legend!
Can't wait for the video of your wife's Touareg TDI oil cooler and thermostat coolant leak fix. Recently did mine and was quite a pain in the ass. A few videos out there but not as detailed as you make your videos.
Yea im not really super into that one LOL
@@HumbleMechanic Would probably need to be a two part video. 😀
Thanks!
THANKYOU SO MUCH
What did you do my boy 😂😂 famous line after breaking something.
Would love to see the test drive footage after your done fixing things like this.
I’ll have that in the next video. I wanted to get the diy done asap. I have the oil flush side done. I’m working on the video for that now
Great video!
Thanks!
Great Video
Thank U
Excellent video ! This helped me replace a broken coolant pipe (the one that goes to the rear heater) I dropped the clip and can’t get a new one on. Any idea if it will be safe to leave it as is it seems very secure. Again it’s the coolant pipe that goes from the heater to the thermostat
great video
Great tips, yesterday I've replaced the pcv because my Autel found a fault code and I had 2 symptoms, the sizzling sound while accelerating and I couldn't remove the oil cap while the motor was running, extremely suction. Replaced it with OEM, and several gaskets and o-rings, no change at all. Do you have an idea of what it might be? And had a manifold code after the replace, so I guess somethings wrong there too, although I hold the flaps open while mounting the manifold.
This video was fantastic! But there's something you should be aware of - silicone spray KILLS oxygen sensors. Just a little bit anywhere in the intake side will do it. Petroleum based stuff (like kroil, or even regular wd40) is much safer.
Damn i just used some in various spots on my intake
Good work
“You look at them wrong they break” 😂😂😂
Excellent work and video. Question when you filled the car with coolant. Would it be necessary to bleed the lines before and or fill while under pressure?
hi humble thank you for such a great video can you please help me with this if you can i replaced the pcv valve but it still leak in the valley and caused the oil to leak in front of the engine please any suggestions.. i got the pcv valve from the dealer
I have a question about a oil cooler on the W8 it’s discontinued, so how does one open it up and recondition it possibly resealing it with a better seal considering
I not a fan of an Audi or VW 😂.
But your video very well explanation👍
Last month I did on a 2011 Q7 for my kid and I forgot to adjust the intake flaps then the check engine light came on so I need to remove supercharger out again😢.
And the one screw that hold the coolant pipe I dropped it so I had to put a 8mm from Toyota bolt instead and use a long 10mm wrench ratchet that was so easy 😂
Thanks for you sharing video 👍
I’ve been dealing with a P052C code on my S4. Changed the oil, swapped out both vvt sensors and the code comes back. Checked voltage from the harness and it is correct. Is there something else to check or could it be that the timing chain tensioners are worn out? Looked on forums but not much info. I do have an obd tool and obdeleven. Anyway to check the vvt values?
you are really humble 😎
Epic vidz !! Keep it up! please make a video of P0600 serial communication link video !! caddy 2007 diesel.
Ha! I just did mine last week. Broke the dang coolant pipe for the heater core.
Ouch!
More 3.0t content!!
Do you still have to bleed the coolant for supercharger and heater core when using funnel technique?
I just noticed some brown/milky liquid on my oil filler cap. I'm not losing any coolant, has been stable for months.
So, condensation? Or could PCV failure also affect Mk3? 1.8 90hp ABS ADZ.
great job too honest
